Song of the School Bell
Day after day, the winter through,
I guard your sons and daughters true.
Each day at nine I say, "Hello,"
To the youthful world of joy and woe.
Each day at nine are loudly sung,
Clear greetings from my iron tongue,
While children rush with romp and race,
As though to meet my fond embrace.
Then through the hours they ply the mind
To see what knowledge they may find--
Sometimes with smile and radiant eye,
Sometimes with frown and inward sigh.
'Tis now with bright, now downcast, looks
They bend their heads above their books.
Kind neighbors, you and I are friends,
And toiling for the selfsame ends, --
To help the children wiser grow,
And teach them what they ought to know.
-John Edward Everett
From Your Admissions Director
We have a lot to celebrate! Fairmont Schools soon will enter its 59th year of instruction, and it all started here at the Mable Campus. The time has come when we ask all current Mable families to let us know their plans for the next school year. By now, all current families should have received their registration packets for the upcoming year.
Every Mable student who re-enrolls for the 2011-2012 school year will join in the celebration by ringing the old school bell. In addition, his or her name will be entered into a raffle for a chance to be "Director for a Day" and their parents will be entered to win a premium parking space for a month. During flag salute on Wednesday, March 2, three students' names will chosen for "Director for a Day" --one for a child in grades 1-3, one in grades 4-6, and one in grades 7-8. During the Parent Association Meeting on March 10, the names of nine children will be drawn for their parents to receive a parking space, one per month for the months of September 2011 through May 2012.
As a current family, we encourage you to take advantage of our priority registration period. Much of our planning for the upcoming school year takes place in spring. Timely re-enrollment allows us the opportunity to plan and facilitate the best educational experience possible for our students. As you know, space is limited in several grade levels. Returning your re-enrollment contract by the deadline of Friday, February 25, will secure your child's place for next year.
If you have a family that you would like us to consider for enrollment, please stop by the admissions office for a new student packet. First acceptances for 2011-2012 applicants will be mailed to students on our wait list during the first week of March.
We understand that you have many options when choosing a school, and we thank you for your continued trust in allowing us to educate your child.
